Der Gasteig brummt! – The Gasteig is Abuzz!
toInformation about the festival
From the very young to the nearly grown-up, “Der Gasteig brummt!” takes visitors on a musical voyage of discovery, providing a chance to listen, try out, dance, sing and play along. The Gasteig’s resident institutions and many of the art centre’s other partners offer a varied hands-on programme for children and youngsters. Over two days, concerts and workshops will fill the Gasteig’s spaces with life. And you’ll also be able to take a close look at and try various musical instruments.
The Gasteig HP8 is turning into a musical playground for kids and families. Children and youngsters aged 0 to 14 will take to the Gasteig’s stages and turn its rooms and foyers into a vibrant place abuzz with music and movement where fantasy can run riot.
Come to “Der Gasteig brummt!” and discover music up close. On the programme are classics, such as a picture book reading of The Gruffalo, as well as singing, dance and music workshops that take their inspiration from around the world and in which animals – from elephants and birds to monkeys, cats, donkeys and mice – play a central role.
The programme is held in German language, but since its focused on music and dance the events are generally open for all. They have been designed to be inclusive, with sign language interpreting at selected events. Guided behind-the-scenes tours (in German) will provide a glimpse into the areas of the Gasteig that are normally hidden from view. And at “Die Bühne brummt!”, young talent can sign up to perform themselves at Gasteig HP8.
Big fun for everyone!

“It’s great to see the kids interacting with the artists on stage with such joy. To experience this enthusiasm even from children who don’t normally have easy access to music is wonderful.”
Music inspires
The Der Gasteig brummt! festival has a wide range of music and activities on offer and will provide plenty of enjoyment for newcomers to the world of music as well as seasoned music fans looking for new inspiration. Bringing kids in contact with music at an early age is what motivates the makers and musicians involved as well as many teachers.

“This festival holds a wonderful mix in store for the kids: it lets them experience the concert atmosphere in a big auditorium, and they can take a look backstage, where they can meet the musicians and learn all sorts of interesting things about their instruments. A trip to the Gasteig is the best way of showing kids what music is all about.”
